Michigan Speaker of the House Tom Leonard announced this morning that he is running to be attorney general. Sitting Attorney General Bill Schuette is term-limited and is running for governor. Leonard said, “I am running to be Michigan’s Attorney General to defend the innocent, the vulnerable, the hard-working people of this state, who aren’t looking for special deals or political favors—just their honest shot at living a better life.”

During the Mackinac Republican Leadership Conference this weekend, MIRS News and Crain’s Detroit Business took a straw poll of the attendees. The poll included questions about candidate preferences (including undeclared candidates) and various ballot proposals. They released the results on Saturday evening, based on almost 700 respondents.

On Tuesday, Michigan state Senator Tonya Schuitmaker announced that she will run for attorney general. “As a pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, law-and-order conservative who achieves results on life touching issues, I am running for Attorney General to protect what is important,” Schuitmaker, a Republican, stated on her website.
